New Age Dating

Dating is exhausting. Trying to find a person that its decent enough for you to try to have a relationship with, is a fulltime job.  As a woman, its sometimes very overwhelming. I created a profile on several dating sites, and within few hours, I had way too many messages. I was instantly overwhelming. Half of them did not read my profile. I put something in the middle of my biography that there were supposed to put on the subject, that let me know they actually took the time to read.
There were some decent guys, there were some creeps, there were all kinds of guys. It is a very hard way to make selections. Too many messages to address.  I can tell a lot of them just clicked on my picture and liked it, and move on. Or said they wanted to meet but no real conversations. I clicked on a couple and read some interesting profiles. I talked to a few of the guys. Some immediately, wanted more pictures. Some were interested in me personally, but then asked for revealing pictures. I am not sure what are the qualifications for a woman to date.
I am very comfortable with my body, and personality. So it was not issue for me to show a little more skin. However, there to many demands. Show me this, show me that, there is nothing to leave for the imagination.  Everyone is so shallow.
I dated a person from a site I fell in love with. We had an awesome relationship until he decided he preferred to deal with his issues alone, then to share them with me. I was left confused. I often question if it was me, which he assured me, it wasn’t me, it was him. (typical) He is not a bad guy, and nothing about us breaking up made sense. So after many tries, I gave up. We decided to remain friends. So I hit the Internet again.
I have been lied, guys say they are single, then they have families and girls living at home, others, are simply only after one thing and some have these high standards and weird questions. I starting to believe that dating offline will be best. That get to know someone every day, until you fall in love, share your time and experiences, until you cannot stop thinking about each other.
Whatever happened if you saw a girl, you smiled, and talk to her. Nowadays guys are too shy, or scared to do that. There is nothing wrong on asking a girl if she is single or not, if you find her attractive, and she is alone, and wearing no ring, sure say hi, smile and ask… I would do the same.
Online dating, is a game changer indeed. It allows shy people that otherwise wouldn’t talk to you in person to talk to you, however its full of complications, and for a person with severe anxiety, ADHD and depression, I don’t think is the best outlet, unless you have a lot of time on your hands to really go on many dates and find someone.
Before my last relationship, I think I went on over 10 dates before I met a decent guy, and even then, apparently we were not right for each other.  Do not get me wrong, I have made good male friends along the way, not everyone you meet online wants just sex. There are truly amazing people, that you can connect even if doesn’t end up in a relationship. You just never know what the future might bring.
Building a strong relationship should always start with friendship, then trust and devotion. Then finally in love.
Have fun dating, whether is online or in person.
